Casio release G-SHOCK with Detachable Bezel in Unique Colourful Playful Designs. The new G-B001 watches are the newest additions to the family of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches, they come in the form of the DW-001 watches released in 1994, now adding a playful touch with detachable bezel.
DW-001
The original DW-001 introduced a new sensibility by departing from the conventional rugged, hard designs with the Capsule Tough design that fully enveloped the case in resin to provide a unique shock resistant structure. The power and strength of G-SHOCK is now conveyed in a new curved, soft form that proved popular.
G-SHOCK G-B001
The new G-SHOCK G-B001 watches take the DW-001 design concept further by combining the idea of wrapping the watch with the thrill of popping open a toy capsule from a vending machine. The detachable bezel on this shock-resistant watch allows users to mix and match components to choose their favourite look that best suits their fashion style for the day.
By retaining the Soft DW-001 form, the new G-SHOCK G-B001 watches feature a double-bezel design that allows users to detach the resin bezel below, just like a toy capsule design. The resin bezel stays true to the DW-001 design with a two-tone color scheme, while hairline and mirror finishes on the individual components of the metal bezel offer a more sophisticated look and feel. This design highlights the different character of the resin and metal bezels, delivering a watch that is pop and sophisticated at the same time.
G-B001MVE
The G-B001MVE also includes an interchangeable resin bezel and band, offering even more design combinations for users to mix and match to their taste.
